Mass Readings – Tuesday of the 10th Week of the Year (St. Anthony of Padua)
The Lord describes us as Salt and Light, two things that while good in themselves are also precious when shared with others. With salt our food is tasty and preserved; with light we can see and find our way on the journey of life. May we share our lives with one another, giving glory to God for blessings we have received.

For in the end, if we are going to enter into Heaven, then we have today to remove the obstacles that keep us from communion.
